Una idea popular era su ego, junto con su estilo de vida extravagante, Mayweather no permitiría que se mantenga alejado por mucho tiempo.

ESTILO

 

Mayweather:

Un boxeador puro con rapidez extraordinaria y los instintos que lo hace todo bien con un arsenal que incluye un pinchazo chasquido, precisa la mano derecha, y gancho de izquierda que puede ser duplicado y triplicado con tremendo efecto. Utiliza movimientos finta para congelar los opositores y carriles abiertos de perforación. Mete la barbilla muy por detrás de su hombro para rodar con golpes. Incluso contra las cuerdas, él es un objetivo difícil de conseguir un puñetazo en. Él no tiene un gran poder de golpe. La mayoría de sus victorias por detención provienen de outpunching y outclassing sus oponentes mientras que rara vez anotando nocauts limpias.

 

McGregor:

McGregor cajas de una postura de zurdo, luz sobre sus pies y usar el movimiento lateral, buscan establecer aberturas para la mano izquierda atronadora. Al competir bajo las reglas de artes marciales mixtas, McGregor menudo rechazado derribos y luchando, prefiriendo utilizar su rapidez y el poder desde una postura sorprendente, a menudo con resultados destructivos.

 

FORTALEZAS

 

Mayweather:

* Experiencia - El boxeo está en la sangre de Mayweather desde su infancia. Completó una extensa carrera amateur al ganar la medalla de bronce en los Juegos Olímpicos '96. Él ha estado compitiendo con éxito en un nivel de campeonato para el pasado 19 año, enfrentar y derrotar a todos los estilos.

 

* Acondicionamiento - Mayweather es un monstruo de la aptitud con una ética de trabajo increíble en lo que respecta a la formación. Pocos luchadores empujan tanto como Mayweather hace en el gimnasio, incluso haciendo sesiones de entrenamiento de la medianoche. Es evidente en el ring cuando su resistencia lo lleva en los últimos rounds.

 

* Anillo Generalship - Mayweather sabe cada pulgada del anillo y cómo controlar una pelea. Él sabe cuándo atacar, cuando a la caja, cuando al subir la temperatura, y cuando a la costa. Mayweather posee el anillo cuando él está ahí. Incluso las raras ocasiones en que se ha aturdidos en peleas, fue capaz de resolver rápidamente y sofocar la amenaza.

 

McGregor:

* Audaz - McGregor es un seguro de sí mismo y agitación luchador muy. Se ha mostrado ningún miedo en contra de algunos luchadores de MMA peligrosos y no ha tenido problemas burlándose de ellas, dejando caer las manos, y luego copias de seguridad de sus acciones en negrilla.

 

* Heterodoxo - No sólo es un zurdo McGregor, él es un zurdo muy poco ortodoxo. Él viene en forma agresiva en sus dedos de los pies y dispara sus golpes desde todos los ángulos, principalmente la mano izquierda su firma. Él va a tirar de él hacia o de una forma de bucle desde una distancia, e incluso de una forma de cortar corto tiempo en estrecha.

 

* Energía - de habilidades sorprendentes y poder McGregor han sido alabado en el UFC y que es ampliamente reconocido como uno de los mejores delanteros del mundo de las artes marciales mixtas. Él lleva el poder de trueno en la mano izquierda y ha anotado nocauts en 18 de su 21 victorias.

 

DEBILIDADES

 

Mayweather:

* Envejecimiento - Mayweather puede tener un historial intachable pero el padre tiempo nunca ha sido derrotado. Mayweather ha sido más de pies planos en los últimos combates y que ahora ha terminado 40 años. No ha sido tan fuerte en sus últimos combates y es contenido para neutralizar y vencer a los oponentes.

 

* Inactividad - Esta es la primera pelea de Mayweather en casi dos años. Desde su victoria sobre Oscar de la Hoya en de mayo de 2007, Mayweather sólo ha luchado con un total de 11 veces.

 

* Perforación Poder - La mayoría de victorias por detención de Mayweather han venido de una acumulación de golpes. El resultado habitual es la esquina árbitro u oponerse a detener el combate para evitar más castigo. A pesar de su nocaut explosivo de Víctor Ortiz, es raro ver a Mayweather terminar una pelea con un golpe, que se remonta a sus días como 130 lb boxeador.

 

McGregor:

* La experiencia de boxeo - A pesar de competir en las artes marciales mixtas y que tiene una reputación como delantero dominante, hay una enorme brecha en el nivel de la técnica y la habilidad de boxeo profesional, McGregor y es claramente un novato cuando se trata de boxeo tradicional.

 

* Fácil de golpear - A lo largo de su carrera de artes marciales mixtas, defensa nunca fue el punto fuerte de McGregor y ha adoptado una serie de golpes limpios en algunos de esos combates. Los informes de algunas de sus sesiones de entrenamiento han surgido afirmando que la defensa de McGregor podría ser un pasivo.

 

* instintos - McGregor no tiene instintos de boxeo tradicionales debido a su falta de participación en el deporte. Cosas que vienen naturalmente a Mayweather y otros boxeadores entrenados no vendrán tan naturalmente para “Mystic Mac,” y él tendrá que concentrarse y enfocarse en no usar las piernas o los codos como lo haría en el mundo de las artes marciales mixtas.

 

COMBATE ANTERIOR

 

Mayweather:

(09-12-15) Mayweather estaba saliendo de su histórica victoria sobre Manny Pacquiao cuando se enfrentó al desteñido Andre Berto. La pelea fue una decepción con Mayweather cabotaje fácilmente a una victoria por decisión unánime en lo que se anunció como su pelea de retiro.

 

McGregor:

Este es el debut en el boxeo profesional de McGregor.

 

3 MEJORES PRESTACIONES

 

Mayweather:

* Diego Corrales (1/20/01) - Los expertos fueron arrancadas de a quién elegir en éste y muchos inclinándose hacia Corrales para ganar por KO. Mayweather nunca lo dejó en la pelea, derribándolo cinco veces antes de la pelea fue detenida en la 10ª ronda.

 

* Arturo Gatti (6/25/05) - A pesar de que Mayweather era un sólido favorito en las apuestas, muchos esperaban Gatti para hacer las cosas en bruto para Mayweather. Nunca sucedió como Mayweather derribó a Gatti en la 1ra ronda y tratado a cabo una severa paliza antes esquina de Gatti detuvo la pelea después de seis rondas de un solo lado.

 

* Ricky Hatton (12/8/07) - Hatton fue invicto entrando en la pelea y establecer un plan de juego de la presión constante de llevar a cabo Mayweather. Después de unas cuantas rondas incómodas, Mayweather fue capaz de encontrar su rango y hacerse cargo de, pavimentos Hatton dos veces en el décimo round y obligando a un paro.

 

McGregor:

* Eddie Alvarez (11/12/16 - UFC 205) - Considerada como la victoria más dominante y completo en la carrera de McGregor. Utilizó su juego de piernas para mantener a raya a Alvarez y evitar derribos. McGregor castigado Alvarez, derribándolo dos veces temprano, y luego burlándose de él en el 2nd redonda con las manos detrás de su espalda. Poco después, una combinación de cuatro punzón izquierda Alvarez pulverizado en la derrota.

 

* José Aldo (12/12/15 - UFC 194) - Un contador ras de la mano izquierda de McGregor era todo lo que necesitaba para golpear a cabo Aldo, dejándolo caer sobre su rostro y anotó la victoria en una sorprendente 13 segundo.

 

* Diego Brandao (07/19/14 - UFC 46) - McGregor anotó un derribo temprano y luego comenzó el aterrizaje de la mano izquierda. Cuatro minutos en, McGregor fue capaz de cortar el anillo y Brandao suelo con una mano izquierda, forzando una 1st paro ronda.

 

 

CLAVES PARA LA VICTORIA

 

Mayweather:

* No deje McGregor ganó ninguna confianza

 

* Utilizar la experiencia de boxeo de primera clase para ángulos

 

* juncos de tiempo McGregor y terrestres recta mano derecha

 

McGregor:

* Variar su ataque a la cabeza y el cuerpo

* Fuerza Mayweather contra las cuerdas y cerrar la distancia

 

* Mayweather áspera y obligarlo a perder la compostura

 

PREGUNTAS Y RESPUESTAS

 

* ¿Por qué esta siendo disputada con las reglas estrictamente boxeo? respuesta simple es dinero. Para competir usando reglas de boxeo, la pelea estará bajo las Mayweather Promotions bandera “Equipo de dinero”. El dinero de la puerta en vivo, publicidad, pay-per-view de ingresos, etc. se destinará a sueldo neto del luchador. Para competir bajo las reglas de artes marciales mixtas que luego caen bajo la bandera de UFC, Dana White, donde sería seguro de mantener una gran parte del dinero.

* ¿Los guantes de 8 onzas tener un impacto? McGregor ha competido en las artes marciales mixtas el uso de guantes sin dedos 4oz. El plan original era utilizar 10oz los guantes de boxeo, pero se ha acordado utilizar guantes de 8 onzas en vez. Que sigue favoreciendo a Mayweather como él está acostumbrado a usar guantes más pesados.

 

*¿Quién tiene más que perder? Mayweather, sin duda. Fuera del equipo de McGregor, sus fans más fieles, y los aficionados novatos, la mayoría de los expertos están esperando una victoria dominante Mayweather. Las probabilidades están a su favor en un combate de boxeo tradicional. Si McGregor pierde en un combate cerca, es una victoria moral y una amplia derrota, a pesar de contusiones en su ego, sería de esperar, dada su experiencia respectiva. Si Mayweather pierde o luchas en una estrecha, controvertida victoria, su legado se empañó irreparablemente.

 

* ¿Qué pasa si McGregor utiliza ataques de MMA? Mayweather y su equipo son a fondo cuando se construye un contrato de la pelea. Su contrato cuando la lucha contra Manny Pacquiao parecía el equivalente de una novela de Herman Melville. Si intenta McGregor cualquier tácticas ilegales de artes marciales, seguramente perderá una gran parte, si no todos, de lo que se estima que al menos un premio de $ 75 millones de dólares.

 

* Se Mayweather combatir de manera más agresiva? Durante la ultima decada, Mayweather ha ganado la vida mediante su defensiva y el contragolpe habilidades para neutralizar a sus oponentes peligrosos y ganar por puntos. Apenas se parece a la brillante luchador que deslumbró y oponentes abrumados al principio de su carrera. Mientras todavía empleará una estrategia defensiva Mayweatheresque temprana, las aberturas McGregor presenta y deseo de humillar a su adversario braggadocios dará lugar a Mayweather de estar más en sus golpes y en busca de oportunidades de alimentación a la cabeza y el cuerpo.

 

* Será la lucha dar vuelta feo? Ninguno de los dos tiene miedo de jugar el papel de villano arrogantes ni doblar un poco las reglas. En sesiones de entrenamiento, McGregor fue visto aterrizando golpes a la parte posterior de la cabeza y empujar. Mayweather fue criticado por noquear a Víctor Ortiz con un punzón cuando Ortiz estaba tratando de disculparse por una falta. La presencia en el equipo de Roger Mayweather y Leonard Ellerbe como elementos combustibles de Mayweather se suma a la posibilidad de que el drama. Un horrible pelea que termina con cada boxeador descalificado no está fuera de la cuestión. El árbitro Robert Byrd tendrá las manos llenas controlar la acción si faltas comienzan a ocurrir.

 

* Lo que ocurre a continuación? Si la lucha resulta ser entretenida, cerca, o controvertido, una revancha es posible. Si McGregor se quita el malestar, Mayweather ciertamente solicitar una revancha. Si la pelea es una estrecha victoria de Mayweather, su reputación puede dañarse bastante que él solicita una revancha. Si la pelea termina con una victoria dominante Mayweather, McGregor puede volver a la UFC un hombre rico y una estrella de transición más grande. Mayweather se compromete a retirarse de nuevo, pero es probable que sólo hasta que se volvió a desafiar para la próxima pelea ultra-ricos. También insinuó que puede desafiar McGregor en el octágono de UFC, sin embargo, dijo a periodistas en una conferencia telefónica reciente que esta será su última “lucha.”

 

PENECALE PREDICCIÓN

 

Será una atmósfera estridente y eléctrico como los combatientes entran en el anillo, y se trabajará por un crescendo durante una intensa staredown. Como Robert Byrd pasa a través de las instrucciones, McGregor se paso a la cara de Mayweather y tratar de empezar a capitalizar el factor de intimidación. Mayweather, normalmente confiado y relajado, responderá con una mirada gélida.

 

McGregor brotará de su esquina para una ronda, avanzar en sus dedos del pie y agitando los brazos de un modo poco ortodoxo. Mayweather se moverá hacia la izquierda lejos de la mano el poder de McGregor McGregor como presiona la acción y se desplaza con un par de manos salvajes izquierda. McGregor lanzará otra izquierda salvaje que se queda corta y luego tratar de toro Mayweather contra las cuerdas y club de él con la mano izquierda. Mayweather será hacerse con contra las cuerdas y McGregor tratará de mutilar en el interior, utilizando sus hombros como un arma, garantizando el primer aviso de Robert Byrd. Como los anillos de campana para terminar un descuidado 1st ronda, McGregor quijada con Mayweather, ya que caminar de regreso a sus respectivas esquinas.

 

Para la primera mitad de la 2nd ronda, el patrón continuará con Mayweather jugar a matador de toros de juncos McGregor y manos izquierdas salvajes. Alrededor de un minuto en la estrofa, McGregor como comienza otra de sus avances, Mayweather pivotará a esta izquierda y la tierra una dura derecha, haciendo que el sudor para rociar fuera de la cabeza de McGregor. Mayweather fijará sus pies, rodar sus hombros, y disparar otra combinación uno-dos por la mitad, finta su jab y lanzar otra mano derecha, que a su vez las tierras al ras.

 

A partir de la 3rd ronda, Mayweather comenzará a afirmar su dominio. McGregor comenzará a darse cuenta de que tienen la mejor capacidad de boxeo en el mundo de las artes marciales mixtas no garantiza el éxito en el mundo del boxeo. El linebacker más rápido NFL está todavía fuera de su alcance cuando hay que correr contra Usain Bolt. la capacidad y la experiencia natural de Mayweather brillarán como él comienza a aterrizar mano derecha a voluntad, McGregor y mostrará los efectos con hinchazón y decoloración debajo de su ojo izquierdo.

 

El talento y la experiencia disparidad será evidente a medida que progresa la pelea en el 4º y 5º rondas. Mayweather será cómodo de pie en el bolsillo y golpear McGregor con la mano derecha a voluntad. Mientras que la mano derecha será su golpe de elección contra su oponente zurdo, Mayweather también conducirá con varios ganchos que quedan, aterrizar sus golpes desde una vertiginosa variedad de ángulos. El final de 5º ronda verá un McGregor rápidamente fatigante caída en su taburete

 

La 6º ronda será un asunto de castigar, similar a la de Mayweather 2005 disección de Arturo Gatti. Mayweather se habrá encontrado la casa de sus manos derechas y continuará a ellos aterrizar bruscamente. También será una finta de la vacuna, así que cuando muerde McGregor en la falsa y se aparta para proteger la barbilla, Mayweather conducirá el golpe al cuerpo antes de volver en la parte superior en la cabeza. Un uppercut de izquierda se deformará las rodillas de McGregor y otra mano derecha en la campana lo hará tambalearse, enviándolo tambaleándose a su esquina.

 

Como McGregor se sienta en el taburete, Su ojo izquierdo casi cerrado hinchada, y la sangre que fluye de la nariz, su esquina decidirá para guardar su guerrero de castigo adicional y detener la lucha. Mayweather se levantará de su asiento y se regocijan en la victoria.

 

El ganador por 6º Nocaut técnico es Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr.!!!!

“En noviembre 2015, I said that I had new blood for our industry David Benavidez, who would be the best and youngest super middleweight champion in the history of our sport,” Said Sampson Lewkowicz, Benavidez’ promotor. “We didn’t cherry pick this opponent. He was the next available contender when Anthony Dirrell pulled out. We expect fireworks. We expect to birth a new superstar. The most important thing is to determine in which round Gavril will be knocked out, because I believe that we’re talking about matching a jet plane against a helicopter. So I expect a spectacular performance from Benavidez, who will begin his run as the new blood in boxing and will keep it going until he retires.

Más recientemente, Benavidez began his 2017 campaign with a second-round destruction of Sherali Mamajonov in January.

(CMB & WBO Jr. Welterweight Champion Terence Crawford with his Trainer Brian McIntyre and
Top Rank President Todd duBoef / FIB & WBA Jr. Welterweight Champion Julius Indongo with his co-promoter and manager Nestor Tobias and Matchroom Boxing’s Frank Smith.)

TODD duBOEF: It is going to be an exciting night en sábado. This will be our third event going live on ESPN and what a way to start with Pacquiao, Lomachenko and now the title unification of Terence Crawford and Julius Indongo. We are going to be in Lincoln, Nebraska this time as Lady Gaga is in Omaha. We are looking forward to Lincoln, as that’s where the Cornhuskers are. This is an incredible thing to be able to do. A lot of time people talk about seeing good fightsguys fight guys that are accomplishedthen there’s other guys that want the challenges. Julius Indongo and his promoter, Matchroom Boxeo, have come up in a meteoric rise in the past 18 months and Julius has performed great. Terence Crawford has exploded onto the boxing scenegoing to Glasgow, Scotland and winning the lightweight title and coming back to Omaha in his first defense against Gamboa and winning in sensational fashion. This will be Terence’s ninth consecutive world title fight over two weight divisions. It is unique in that is a highly-anticipated unification. Only the second time in the four-belt era that two world champions have fought each other to unify the titles with the winner emerging as the division’s undisputed world champion.

FRANK SMITH: It is great to be here in Omaha with Top Rank and we are really looking forward to this fightit is great when fighters want to take challenges. Julius has traveled all around the worldgoing to Russia where he won by first round knockout and then taking on Ricky Burns in Scotland in front of a huge crowd. Julius has been spending the last few days in OmahaI know he is very calm and very relaxed and really looking forward to the challenge. It’s great to be involved in a fight like this with all the belts on the line, which doesn’t happen very often. I know Julius is very confident to go back home with all of the belts in hand. Terence Crawford is a great fighter and has shown it on many occasions and Julius is very calm and relaxed and looking forward to showing what he does and he has no concerns with the traveling. He’ll go anywhere to take on a challenge.

NESTOR TOBIAS: Estamos muy emocionados. Julius has trained very hard for this fight. He is very focused and very comfortable in Omaha. We spent some time before we came to Omaha training at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Boxing Club
.
JULIUS INDONGO: Thank you very much for this opportunity. I know Crawford is a very good and tough fighter and this is a big event. En Sábado noche, I will give everything I have and my focus and my game plan and everything is in position. Just waiting for the weigh-in. I try and not say too much before the fight, which is something that I am used to. I prefer to do it in the ring when my opponent is standing in front of me so I can do my work. I have been in boxing for a long time and not many people know me. I believe this is the time for me to show the world that a boxer from Africa from Namibia can beat a guy fighting in his home in front of his people. This is the best way to do it. I am confident in my styles and techniques that I have learned from years ago. En Sábado noche, it is going to be boxingI am not sure if there is going to be a knockout but I know I can do that if I have to. I can say now that I have trained hard and my trainer is always there.
TODD duBOEF: I also want to thank the organizations for accommodating this match because there was everyone trying that had fighters that had mandatories working behind the scenes to help put this unification together. We are all appreciative of everybody working together to help bring this match with the participants with all four titles of the organizations. We are very appreciative of them assisting Matchroom and Top Rank.
JULIUS INDONGO: Sí. I would like to also thank the organizations and Top Rank and Matchroom for pushing this fight and helping the negotiations to make this fight happenfor making it all possible.
You have two titles now, but what is your view of the possibility of having all four titles?

JULIUS INDONGO: My view of this is that I have not focused much on that since I have been busy in the gym. I have not focused on anything but making sure of my performance en sábado noche. My focus has been in the gym to make sure my game will be the best ever. No one will ever forget about this fight. The organizations were involved in making this fight happen and I appreciate that but I won’t think much about having four titles until the fight is over.

How will it feel walking out of the ring with four belts?

JULIUS INDONGO: It’s going to mean a lot to meit will mean all of the hard work and determination got that achievement and it will create more opportunity for me. I will travel the world with the four titles. I will take them back to Africato my country. I am going to be very, muy feliz
.
How hard was it to get the organizations to go along with this?
TODD duBOEF: It was very difficult. We had to work hand in hand with Matchroom because obviously Matchroom and Indongo had two belts and Top Rank and Crawford had two belts and there were mandatories and everything that was coming into play. There were people that we had to appeal to and we said, “¡Eh, this is a rare opportunity that we are able to do this. Let’s try and work together and have a positive solution for the sport of boxing and I think we delicately managed it.
How long do you think the winner will be able to hold onto those titles?

TODD duBOEF: I think we should ask that question to the winner, not before we have a winner. (La), we don’t know who is going to winIndongo thinks he is going to win and Crawford thinks he is going to win. Then at that point we will have to see what the order is, who has the mandatory, what order of fights and if all of the organizations can get together and if they can great and if they can’t it will be up to the fighter to make the decisions. And up to the promoters. I think it is premature to discuss that right now.

How has your life changed since you won the two titles?
JULIUS INDONGO: The thing that has really changed isI do still live in my town in Namibiaand I try to stay focused and try do the right thing in the public. When someone becomes known to the whole country, most importantly I try not to roll with the wrong friends. I try and stay home and go to church after work and I do my training program twice a day. That’s the only way that I could say it can be done.
Do you live in the same place?
JULIUS INDONGO: Sí, that is where I am staying and where I train. All of the people are very friendly. We don’t have too much of a division within the people of everyone in the country, especially in the city. There is nothing that can distract me wherever I stay or whatever I doeveryone will know in Namibia.
How much better is Crawford than Ricky Burns or Troyanovsky?
JULIUS INDONGO: I cannot really say much on that because when I fought Troyanovsky and Ricky Burns they were both easier fights than I fought in the last fight, that I fought from home. The two world title fights that I challenged in were the best training that I have trained. I had never been as focused with the best game plan so it made it the easiest fights for me. They were both easier than we ever thought they would be because of the focus on them and the game plan.

Why were you able to focus more for those two fights?

JULIUS INDONGO: The other fights were happening at home and we used to be too much like let a lot of people in the campwe used to share invitationsfor the two last fights anyway. The fight was for the championship so there was something that we needed to achieve and change and to improve our image (if we want) to be known in the world. We had to have focus only on me and the potential and that’s the only way the world was going to get to see me. The promotion had known what was happening with me and letting everyone else know. So now everyone was going to see something new again, Lo sé. I have no doubt. Lo sé. All I can say is just only if maybe knockout come it may be late. But waking up, the day of fight, be skillful and focusedeverything is in position. The crowd or the fans, or Terence’s home crowd won’t intimidate methat is nothing, I cannot afford it, so I travel the same wayit is always the same.

Since you won in the hometowns of the last two titles fights how much confidence does that give you?

JULIUS INDONGO: En realidad, they are different conditions. I don’t particularly mind because it is already past. My focus is that it is a blessing from God to keep me and not to let me wander in a sense, and to ask for a provision for myself, my president and my commander in the office that wherever I travel I will be representing all of Namibia. It’s like I have the whole country of Namibia on my shoulders issued by my president so I have to rely on the game plan and that is the confidence that I rely. Así, if I am stepping there I know that my country and Africa is on my shoulders and when the team travels from Namibia to the fight I can only focus on the fight so it motivated me a lot. Así, I have to focus only on this fight.

Where did you train for this fight?
JULIUS INDONGO: When I saw Crawford requested to fight the winner of the fight between me Troyanovsky, which is when I started training for this fight because we don’t have any power and the only way to rely on the big guns when they are requested for it. Así, when they gave us the offer we had to go for it so that’s when I started training. I trained at home in Namibiawhere I have always been training. (He came to the States early and trained in Freddie Roach’s gym in Hollywood).

What have you noticed in the viewership of the fights on ESPN?

TODD duBOEF: One thing I am looking forward to en sábado is Kurt Warner just finished his [Hall of Fame induction] speech so we won’t have to deal with that en sábado. This is all part of a long-term game plan of making these fighters come alive to the sports fan. Obviously there has been an incredible amount of promotion before the Pacquiao fight and mirrored with an incredible amount of promotion for the Lomachenko fight on August 5th and ESPN will be flipping the switch this weekend, taking the weigh-in live and doing all of the same consistent promotion and this is wonderful for the people that are interested in boxing. Everything has been terrific and to get two of the top guys in front of people that are watching the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball are able to see the highest level of fights is just a positive step for the sport.

Has there been a change in demographic of who is watching the fights?

TODD duBOEF: I don’t think there has been a change in demographic I think the perception of the boxing demographic in the United States has been unfortunately tight-cappedan older demographic. We are looking at these numbers and obviously 18-49 is the number that everybody wants and even with Kurt Warner and the rest of the Hall of Fame going on we went straight up against UFC that night and beat them in both 18-49 y 18-34 which are the most important demos. And I think additionally, for ESPN that week, we were the second highest rated 18-49 program with the Lomachenko broadcast and in fact over 50% of our audience was 18-49 where baseball was about 32%. We think that the story that it is an old sport and old people don’t care about it, which was largely spun out by UFC years ago and I think to a certain point there was some truth to itolder demos were on premium channelsthe fact is this is very positive, joven, multi-cultural through the roof and we are excited to put this on this broad platform.

Is it easy to focus and do what you need to do in your homeland?

JULIUS INDONGO: I don’t think I have an issue with the fans or the population because it is already something I am aware of. All I have is to train and just be focused on Crawford and my game plan and do good on my preparation.
Indongo has come so fara year ago no one knew who he was and now he is on this huge platform

TODD duBOEF: This is not an outlier – esto es boxeo. This is what happens with boxing. This is no different than Azumah Nelson coming over on 10 days-notice and suddenly getting in the ring and making a name for himself in the United States. People can change the tide very quickly in the sport of boxing and that happens because of their performances and we have to recognize that his is a global sport. This is not the Premier League or the NFL or the NBA and we are relatively isolated to a small pool. Indongo is a very talented fighter who has probably worked his whole childhood figuring out how to master a trade. And that’s Julius Indongo and what he did was, the door of opportunity opens and he steps through it, and that is the story of boxing. There are countless stories like that and I think this is not a miraculous one but really goes back to what makes boxing so special. People that take advantage of those opportunities and suddenly a diamond in the rough is discovered.

What do you have to say about this activitythis is your 4th fight in just over a year?

JULIUS INDONGO: It really means a lot not only to me but also to my promotion where I train. When I began they weren’t planning to produce such an event or any opportunity like this or even that matches I had back home. It is something big and something huge and something useful and it is an appreciation for what Top Rank and Matchroom has put together and I appreciate these opportunities.

TODD duBOEF: We have given Terence all of the accolades about how great of a fighter he is, which we all know, but I didn’t know he was an internet sensation now. You have to talk about the Internet sensation! I thought this was the Brian McIntyre internet sensation in the last fight fromCamp Life,” but at the press conference mañana you’ve got to show me your McGregor Challenge.

TERENCE CRAWFORD: It means a lot to me being it will be the first time that all four belts will be on the line at one time in the division’s history and it has only been done twice in boxing. I’m just ready for the moment and fight time this weekend.

Prior to Indongo’s 1st round KO in Russia, had your team ever heard of him?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: No, we never heard of Indongo and we never saw him fight other than the fight he had in Russia.
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Bien, we wanted the Troyanovsky fight but he decided to go with Indongo so when we heard that he got knocked out, we looked at the replay and looked at the fightthat’s when we first took notice of who Indongo really was.
When he fought Ricky Burns who you are familiar with having beaten for the lightweight title, did you think you could make it happen or was it something Top Rank brought to you?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: We wanted the Ricky Burns fight at 140 as well but they didn’t want to take the fight so they wanted to take the fight with Indongo and perhaps later on in the year we could do the fight between me and Ricky Burns again but Indongo beat Ricky Burns, that’s when we took notice and said well he’s the guy with the other two titles so let’s see if we can make a fight with him and unify.

What do you feel about him traveling anywhere to anyone’s hometown to fight for titles?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: It shows a lot about his character and his confidence and his ability in the ring. Him being a two-time world champion in that short amount of time shows that he has a lot of confidence but at the same time he is a little older so he’s at the end of his career coming along so he doesn’t have a lot of choices for what he wants to do. He can’t wait around.

What do you think of Indongo as a fighter?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Indongo is a good fighter. He is a good boxerhe’s got good legs and he seems like he can punch. He doesn’t let his opponent get on the inside and do a lot of damage to him.
TODD duBOEF: Do you find any similarities between him and Postol?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: The only comparison I see is the height. They have two different styles. Postol was more straight up and down. Indongo is a little more elusive. I think Postol was a little more technical. Indongo can get a little wild at times.
Do you think Postol is better than Indongo?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: I can’t say that because I haven’t been in the ring with Indongo but I have been in the ring with Postol. You can see from the outside but once you get in the ring with somebody it can be a totally difference look so after the fight I can tell you.

What do you think about fighting on ESPN broadening you fan base?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: It can broaden the fan base it will give more people the opportunity to see who Terence Crawford really is. To display my talent and my skills to more peopleI am just ready for Sábado to come so I can show more people who Terence Crawford really is.

BRIAN McINTYRE: I am just ready for us to get out there so Terence can show what he’s been working on in camp. I want him to unify and make history and the 140-pound division. We can also silence all of the critics that have been saying that his resume is not as good as some fighters. Not only me but also the whole entire team is excited. I know he is excited to, to get out there and show ESPN what everybody has been hearingthat he is a great boxer and a damn good puncher and how he can switch from both sides. Así, Estoy emocionado. I’m excited for the kid and I’m excited for his family. I am excited for everybody.

The winner will have all four belts, which is historic. Will that fighter also be considered pound-for-pound champion?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: Por supuesto, I think I have been doing a lot in the sport of boxing and I have had my name mentioned in the top three. I will be looking forward to being the top one, or maybe two after this fight. It just depends on how people look at it. In my eyes, I think I am top two already, de forma.
Has it been frustrating to you that you haven’t gotten credit that you deserve?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: I try to not think about that. I can’t worry about what the person thinks about me or says about me. At the end of the day I’m the one that has to go in there and take the punches. A lot of people criticize me for who I am fighting because maybe I am not their favorite fighter or maybe I am doing better than their favorite fighter, or there is a fighter that they want to see me fight and the fight doesn’t happen or it does happen then I beat them. Then they say, ‘oh the only reason Terence won was because he is shortor ‘he won because he was basic’ – there is always going to be an excuse with those types of people.
TODD duBOEF: We are in a sport that gets dissected constantly by people that are haters, people that have agendas and at the end of the day when you have a kid like Terence Crawford who is brilliant in the ring, we just let the people decide what it is. We are going to be sold out in Lincoln, Nebraska and we just did 10,000 people in New Yorkwe are not going to chase the game of people and bloggers and things like that that want to be hating because you will never win that game.
How many will Pinnacle hold?
TODD duBOEF: It is going to hold just over 10,000.
What are your thoughts fighting in Lincoln?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: I am excited about it being that it’s our state capital and where the Nebraska football team plays. It is a nice arena and I always wanted to fight in there. They brought me down there to watch a couple of games and I was always imagining it would be a nice arena to fight in. Everyone around there always welcomed me with open arms telling me ‘you need to come fight here, you need to come fight here.So I am excited that I was able to make that happen. It’s about a 45-minute drive from Omaha.
TODD duBOEF: Just imagine, between a 45-minute drive you’ve got Lady GaGa in Omaha and Terence Crawford in Lincolnnot a bad entertainment night in a small area. Brian are you going to the fight or Lady GaGa?
BRYAN McINTYRE: Well I am going to go to GaGa as soon as we knock this dude off. I know her personally.
CARL MORETTI: Terence is probably boxing’s most active champion at this moment. His last defense was three months ago against Felix Diaz and he fought in December before that and June before that. Así, if you look just before he won the lightweight title it may be eight title defenses en 27 meses. I don’t think you can find a more active champion that has gotten better in the ring defending his title more than Crawford.
How important is it to be active?
TERENCE CRAWFORD: It is very important. I am trying to get my name out there and trying to get the recognition that I deserve. I’m still young and in my prime.
What does it mean if Terence is able to knock out Indongo en sábado noche.

BRIAN McINTYRE: That would be lovelyto do it in good fashion like that, you can’t ask for nothing better. You know if you look for a knockout it’s not there.

If you win you have all of the beltswould you rather stay there or move up?
I am at 140 now and come Sábado that is my main focus is Julius Indongo. We’ll see how the fight goes and after that double back around and see what the next move will be.

How is it when you have quick turnaround to training camp? Is it easier?

TERENCE CRAWFORD: Training camp is never easy. It’s always hard but at the same time, I just had a fight and getting back into the gym and back in the groove of everything. It’s tougher when you have a long period of time off because this time I was somewhat in shape.

LAS VEGAS (Agosto 17, 2017) – Former world champion and top welterweight contender “Tiempo De La Funcion” Shawn Porter has pulled out of the welterweight battle against former title challenger Thomas Dulorme that headlines the Mayweather vs. McGregor preliminary bouts presented by Mayweather Promotions on FOX and FOX Deportes Sábado, Agosto. 26 de T-Mobile Arena de Las Vegas.
Porter withdrew from the match due to personal reasons, which included a death in his family.
Top welterweight challenger and 2008 medallista de bronce olímpico Yordenis Ugas (19-3, 9 KOs) will replace Porter and now take on Dulorme (24-2, 18 KOs) in the main preliminary bout on FOX and FOX Deportes.
On behalf of Mayweather Promotions we send our prayers and deepest condolences to the Porter family,” dijo Leonard Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions. “In boxing we have to deal with curveballs that constantly come at us. Thomas Dulorme has been training hard and is ready to face Yordenis Ugas. Ugas is a tough competitor that shouldn’t be overlooked, and Dulorme is ready. The fight fans are definitely in for an outstanding show between Dulorme and Ugas come Agosto. 26.”
I have been training for this fight for a several weeks now, I knew at the-time Porter was going to be a tough challenger so I took training camp extremely serious,” Said Dulorme. “Fighting on a card this big, you cannot doubt anyone in front of you. My new opponent doesn’t change much. All I can do is continue to stay focused and listen to my team and bring the best fight I can.
It’s an honor to be fighting on one of the biggest boxing cards in history and fighting in the same ring as one of the most famous boxers in the world – Floyd Mayweather,” Ugas dijo. “This is the type of fight that I’ve been looking forward to having since I came back last year after being off for almost three years. This will be my fifth fight in a year. And this is the second fight that I’ve taken on short notice this year. But it doesn’t bother me because I’m always training. Dulorme is a tremendous fighter. He’s very aggressive and very technical. He’s going to get my very best as I know I will get the very best from him. It’s really an honor to fight a quality opponent on a card like this.
Sábado de coverage begins on FOX and FOX Deportes with a one-hour Prefight Show at 6 p.m. Y/3 p.m. PT.
